Ifrit's unique ability is Meteor Strike, which conjures a ball of fiery rock and throws it at a single target, penetrating their Protect status. His Overdrive is Hellfire, where he bathes the enemy party in a ball of rising flame and then throws a chunk of earth at them, causing Fire damage. Wakka's fully upgraded World Champion weapon allows Ifrit to break the damage limit and deal 99,999 damage.

Ifrit absorbs Fire damage, but is weak to Ice damage. Ifrit has high defense, rivaling Bahamut's; however, his attack and HP are lower. As with all the elemental aeons, Ifrit can be healed by using spells of his own element on himself, meaning Fire spells are an easy way to restore his HP.

[view·edit·purge]In Arabian mythology, Ifrit (also spelled Efreet or Afreet, from Arabic عفريت Ifrīt), is the name given to a class of Jinn (magical spirits also known as Djinn, Djinni, and Genie) that embody fire. Though they could live for thousands of years, they were not immortal, and if cut, they would "bleed" the fire running through their veins until it consumed their bodies.
